Not sure why you expect that to be different for lo0 -- it is a
completely fresh first-boot installation with anita defaults -- but:

I don't - but I'm running out of ideas, as the same image you originally
refered works fine for me with qemu 1.7, and -current also works for me
on real hardware. So, what is the difference that makes it fail with
qemu0 and/or anita involved?
